Introduction
There has been continual conflict in the Holy Land because both Jews and Palestinians feel as though it is their right to inhabit certain territories of Israel. The Jews argue that the Holy Land belongs to them because they are God’s chosen people and it was promised to them. On the flip side of the issue, the Palestinians argue that they have called the Holy Land their home since Bible days, and they should not be forced to just pack up their lives and be shunned from their beloved land. Both groups of people claim they want peace, but it seems as though there is not a large-scale effort in taking the next steps. There are people who are making an effort to have peace one person at a time, but it seems like the peace initiative is lacking overall. Peace is achievable, but the way it is found cannot be through forceful efforts. Because the conflict is so deep rooted and complicated, this peace cannot be obtained overnight. Peace within the Holy Land is possible, but it may take a great deal of time to overcome the years of struggle between the people.
